MashaAllah, tabarakallah! The current weather corresponds with the current unit. I have selected two songs from ICS DVD Set – “Rain is a Blessing” and “The Helpful Spider” and expand them into listening, speaking, reading and writing activities.
These brochures are A4 papers folded into three columns. Print them double-sided. It’s a simple, save-the-tree effort 🙂 Amal soleh inshaAllah!
In the last unit, students practiced the “I can/ I feel” phrases. If you have downloaded the Learning Pack, well done! So this Rain & Spider set will be a natural continuation.
What’s inside this set?
Here are the song lyrics. For the Rain song, I selected the first stanza only for writing practice and inserted the du’a as well.
The Spider song has two stanzas. Since the diction is quite high, let’s stick to the first one for now.
Welcome to the first brochure! How to introduce this unit? Talk about the weather, the rain, the sun. Blessing is a big word yet it is easy to say it. How would you define blessing to your young learners? I tell them, blessings are good things from Allah. Ask them for examples.
Practice 1: Arrange the Words Here, the focus is not how fast they can rearrange the lyrics. You can choose to focus on the CAPITAL letters, the end marks, the spacing.
Energizer: Doodling Time Free drawing time! No rules, no guide. Just doodle and draw.
Practice 2: Matching the Movement This looks childish at a first glance. Add a twist, take it to another level. The mission is to switch hand. Right-handed will use their left hands and vice versa. Priceless moment for the children 🙂 This is the time to insert values like repetition, patience, gratitude. You know, all the good stuff!
Practice 3: Rhyming Rain No explanation needed, right? Go ahead and expand this activity.
Enrichment: The Du’a Put the correct signs (fathah, kasrah, dhommah, syaddah).
